Ships in Satellite Imagery¶
About Dataset Context Satellite imagery provides unique insights into various markets, including agriculture, defense and intelligence, energy, and finance. New commercial imagery providers, such as Planet, are using constellations of small satellites to capture images of the entire Earth every day.
This flood of new imagery is outgrowing the ability for organizations to manually look at each image that gets captured, and there is a need for machine learning and computer vision algorithms to help automate the analysis process.
The aim of this dataset is to help address the difficult task of detecting the location of large ships in satellite images. Automating this process can be applied to many issues including monitoring port activity levels and supply chain analysis.
Content The dataset consists of images extracted from Planet satellite imagery collected over the San Francisco Bay and San Pedro Bay areas of California. It includes 4000 80x80 RGB images labeled with either a "ship" or "no-ship" classification. Images were derived from PlanetScope full-frame visual scene products, which are orthorectified to a 3-meter pixel size.
Provided is a zipped directory shipsnet.zip that contains the entire dataset as .png images. Each individual image filename follows a specific format: {label} {scene id} {longitude} _ {latitude}.png
label: Valued 1 or 0, representing the "ship" class and "no-ship" class, respectively. scene id: The unique identifier of the PlanetScope visual scene the image was extracted from. The scene id can be used with the Planet API to discover and download the entire scene. longitude_latitude: The longitude and latitude coordinates of the image center point, with values separated by a single underscore. The dataset is also distributed as a JSON formatted text file shipsnet.json. The loaded object contains data, label, scene_ids, and location lists.
The pixel value data for each 80x80 RGB image is stored as a list of 19200 integers within the data list. The first 6400 entries contain the red channel values, the next 6400 the green, and the final 6400 the blue. The image is stored in row-major order so that the first 80 entries of the array are the red channel values of the first row of the image.
The list values at index i in labels, scene_ids, and locations each correspond to the i-th image in the data list.
Class Labels
The "ship" class includes 1000 images. Images in this class are centered on the body of a single ship. Ships of different sizes, orientations, and atmospheric collection conditions are included. Example images from this class are shown below.
ship
The "no-ship" class includes 3000 images. A third of these are a random sampling of different land cover features - water, vegetation, bare earth, buildings, etc. - that do not include any portion of a ship. The next third are "partial ships" that contain only a portion of a ship, but not enough to meet the full definition of the "ship" class. The last third are images that have previously been mislabeled by machine learning models, typically caused by bright pixels or strong linear features. Example images from this class are shown below.
no-ship
Scenes
Eight full-scene images are included in the scenes directory. Scenes can be used to visualize the performance of classification models trained on the dataset. Verify a model's accuracy by applying it across a scene and viewing where 'ship' classifications occur - the context provided by the scene helps determine positive hits from false alarms. An example scene is shown below.

1. Preprocessing for Analysis¶
Scenes: Since there are only 8 images, we can load and preprocess them directly (e.g., resize, normalize, etc.). Shipsnet: With 4000 images, it’s suitable for a classification model, so we’ll preprocess these for machine learning. Preprocessing for Scenes You can directly load and resize these 8 images for exploratory analysis or other tasks:
from tensorflow.keras.preprocessing.image import img_to_array, load_img
import numpy as np
# Load and preprocess scenes images
def preprocess_scenes_images():
scenes_data = []
scenes_filenames = os.listdir(scenes_path)
for filename in scenes_filenames:
img_path = os.path.join(scenes_path, filename)
img = load_img(img_path, target_size=(128, 128)) # Resize to 128x128
img_array = img_to_array(img) / 255.0 # Normalize pixel values
scenes_data.append(img_array)
return np.array(scenes_data), scenes_filenames
scenes_images, scenes_filenames = preprocess_scenes_images()
print(f"Scenes images shape: {scenes_images.shape}")
Step 1: Check for Labels¶
If the labels are part of the filenames (e.g., filenames starting with 1__ indicate Ship), we can use this pattern to organize the files:
import os
import shutil
# Create subdirectories for the classes
os.makedirs(os.path.join(shipsnet_path, 'Ship'), exist_ok=True)
os.makedirs(os.path.join(shipsnet_path, 'NoShip'), exist_ok=True)
# Move images based on filename patterns
for file in os.listdir(shipsnet_path):
if file.endswith('.png') or file.endswith('.jpg') or file.endswith('.jpeg'):
# Assuming filenames starting with '1__' are ships
if file.startswith('1__'):
shutil.move(os.path.join(shipsnet_path, file), os.path.join(shipsnet_path, 'Ship', file))
else:
shutil.move(os.path.join(shipsnet_path, file), os.path.join(shipsnet_path, 'NoShip', file))
Preprocessing for Shipsnet¶
With 4000 images, we’ll use data generators for efficient preprocessing:
# Define Path
shipsnet_path = '/content/drive/MyDrive/lab_mount/Ships in Satellite Imagery/shipsnet/shipsnet'
# Create data generators for shipsnet
def preprocess_shipsnet_images():
datagen = ImageDataGenerator(
rescale=1./255, # Normalize
validation_split=0.2 # Split into training and validation
)
train_generator = datagen.flow_from_directory(
shipsnet_path,
target_size=(128, 128),
batch_size=32,
class_mode='binary',
subset='training'
)
val_generator = datagen.flow_from_directory(
shipsnet_path,
target_size=(128, 128),
batch_size=32,
class_mode='binary',
subset='validation'
)
return train_generator, val_generator
train_data, val_data = preprocess_shipsnet_images()
Verify Folder Structure¶
Run this to confirm the subdirectories were created and contain images:
# Check contents of Ship folder
ship_folder = os.path.join(shipsnet_path, 'Ship')
noship_folder = os.path.join(shipsnet_path, 'NoShip')
print(f"Number of images in 'Ship': {len(os.listdir(ship_folder))}")
print(f"Number of images in 'NoShip': {len(os.listdir(noship_folder))}")
2. Exploratory Data Analysis¶
For Scenes: You can display the images directly to understand their content or characteristics:
for i, img in enumerate(scenes_images):
plt.figure(figsize=(5, 5))
plt.imshow(img)
plt.title(f"Scenes Image: {scenes_filenames[i]}")
plt.axis('off')
plt.show()
For Shipset: Use the data generators to inspect the class distribution:¶
print(f"Number of training batches: {len(train_data)}")
print(f"Number of validation batches: {len(val_data)}")
print(f"Class indices: {train_data.class_indices}")
from tensorflow.keras.preprocessing.image import ImageDataGenerator
datagen = ImageDataGenerator(
rescale=1./255,
validation_split=0.2
)
train_data = datagen.flow_from_directory(
shipsnet_path,
target_size=(128, 128),
batch_size=32,
class_mode='binary',
subset='training'
)
val_data = datagen.flow_from_directory(
shipsnet_path,
target_size=(128, 128),
batch_size=32,
class_mode='binary',
subset='validation'
)
List a Few Images
You can also list a few files from each folder to ensure they're correctly moved:
print("Sample images in 'Ship':", os.listdir(ship_folder)[:5])
print("Sample images in 'NoShip':", os.listdir(noship_folder)[:5])
Step 1: Preprocess Data Use ImageDataGenerator to rescale the pixel values and create training and validation datasets.
from tensorflow.keras.preprocessing.image import ImageDataGenerator
# Create ImageDataGenerator for preprocessing
datagen = ImageDataGenerator(
rescale=1./255, # Normalize pixel values
validation_split=0.2 # Reserve 20% of data for validation
)
# Prepare training data
train_data = datagen.flow_from_directory(
shipsnet_path,
target_size=(128, 128), # Resize images to 128x128
batch_size=32,
class_mode='binary', # Binary classification (Ship/NoShip)
subset='training'
)
# Prepare validation data
val_data = datagen.flow_from_directory(
shipsnet_path,
target_size=(128, 128),
batch_size=32,
class_mode='binary',
subset='validation'
)
Build the Models¶
Create a simple Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to classify images.
!nvidia-smi
Model_1¶
from tensorflow.keras.models import Sequential
from tensorflow.keras.layers import Conv2D, MaxPooling2D, Flatten, Dense, Dropout
# Define the CNN model
model = Sequential([
Conv2D(32, (3, 3), activation='relu', input_shape=(128, 128, 3)),
MaxPooling2D((2, 2)),
Conv2D(64, (3, 3), activation='relu'),
MaxPooling2D((2, 2)),
Conv2D(128, (3, 3), activation='relu'),
MaxPooling2D((2, 2)),
Flatten(),
Dense(128, activation='relu'),
Dropout(0.5),
Dense(1, activation='sigmoid') # Output layer for binary classification
])
# Compile the model
model.compile(
optimizer='adam',
loss='binary_crossentropy',
metrics=['accuracy']
)
model.summary()
Train the Model¶
Train the model using the training and validation data.
# Train the model
history = model.fit(
train_data,
validation_data=val_data,
epochs=10, # Adjust as needed
steps_per_epoch=len(train_data),
validation_steps=len(val_data)
)
Evaluate the Model¶
Plot the training and validation accuracy/loss to check performance.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# Plot training and validation accuracy
plt.figure(figsize=(10, 5))
plt.plot(history.history['accuracy'], label='Train Accuracy', marker='o')
plt.plot(history.history['val_accuracy'], label='Validation Accuracy', marker='o')
plt.title('Model 1 Accuracy Over Epochs')
plt.xlabel('Epochs')
plt.ylabel('Accuracy')
plt.legend()
plt.grid(True)
plt.show()
# Plot training and validation loss
plt.figure(figsize=(10, 5))
plt.plot(history.history['loss'], label='Train Loss', marker='o')
plt.plot(history.history['val_loss'], label='Validation Loss', marker='o')
plt.title('Model 1 Loss Over Epochs')
plt.xlabel('Epochs')
plt.ylabel('Loss')
plt.legend()
plt.grid(True)
plt.show()
Test the Model¶
Test the model on a new image to verify predictions.
# Get a batch of validation images
val_images, val_labels = next(val_data)
# Select the first image in the batch
test_img_array = val_images[0] # Already normalized by ImageDataGenerator
test_label = val_labels[0] # True label
# Expand dimensions to match model input
test_img_array_expanded = np.expand_dims(test_img_array, axis=0)
# Predict
prediction = model.predict(test_img_array_expanded)
predicted_class = 'Ship' if prediction[0][0] > 0.5 else 'NoShip'
actual_class = 'Ship' if test_label == 1 else 'NoShip'
print(f"Prediction: {predicted_class}")
print(f"Actual Label: {actual_class}")
Instead of testing one image at a time, evaluate the entire validation set to get a broader view of the model's performance.
val_loss, val_accuracy = model.evaluate(val_data)
print(f"Validation Loss: {val_loss:.4f}")
print(f"Validation Accuracy: {val_accuracy:.4f}")
Generate a Classification Report¶
For deeper insights, create a confusion matrix and classification report to identify areas of improvement.
from sklearn.metrics import classification_report, confusion_matrix
# Reset validation generator
val_data.reset()
# Predict on validation set
predictions = model.predict(val_data)
y_pred = (predictions > 0.5).astype(int) # Convert probabilities to binary predictions
y_true = val_data.classes # True labels
# Confusion matrix
cm = confusion_matrix(y_true, y_pred)
print("Confusion Matrix:\n", cm)
# Classification report
print("Classification Report:\n", classification_report(y_true, y_pred, target_names=['NoShip', 'Ship']))
Key Observations¶
Overall Accuracy:
The accuracy is 63%, which might look acceptable at first glance, but it's likely due to the model favoring the NoShip class (majority class). Class Imbalance:
The confusion matrix shows the model predicted 457 true positives for NoShip, but only 49 true positives for Ship. Precision and recall for the Ship class are very low (precision: 0.26, recall: 0.24), meaning the model struggles to identify ships. Macro vs. Weighted Averages:
The macro average (average of the metrics for each class) is low, reflecting poor balance across classes. The weighted average favors the majority class, making the overall performance look better than it actually is. Reasons for the Issue Class Imbalance in the Dataset:
If the dataset has significantly more images for NoShip than Ship, the model is biased toward the majority class. Model Complexity:
The current model might not be complex enough to learn the distinguishing features of ships, especially if the dataset is noisy or ships are small/unclear in the images. Lack of Data Augmentation:
Ships are likely underrepresented, so augmentation could help improve generalization. Learning Rate or Overfitting:
The learning rate might need tuning, or the model might be overfitting to the majority class.
Steps to Improve Performance¶
- Address Class Imbalance Use techniques to balance the dataset:
Oversample the Minority Class: Duplicate images from the Ship class or use data augmentation to create new samples.
- Choosing to use Class Weighting due to large image dataset.

print("Confusion Matrix:\n", cm)
# Classification Report
print("Classification Report:\n", classification_report(y_true, y_pred, target_names=['NoShip', 'Ship']))
Metric Breakdown¶
Validation Loss: 0.0754
A very low loss value, indicating that the model predictions are closely aligned with the ground truth. Validation Accuracy: 97.50%
High accuracy shows that the model is correctly classifying the majority of the images. Precision: 0.9286 (92.86%)
This measures how many of the predicted Ship images were actually Ship. High precision suggests the model has a low rate of false positives. Recall: 0.9750 (97.50%)
This measures how many actual Ship images were correctly identified by the model. High recall indicates the model is successfully identifying most Ship images, with few false negatives. Insights Balanced Performance: Both precision and recall are high, meaning the model isn’t biased toward either over-predicting or under-predicting the Ship class. Robust Generalization: The low validation loss and high accuracy suggest the model generalizes well on unseen validation data.

- Training accuracy improves steadily, reaching over 98% by the end of training.
- Validation accuracy starts high (above 90%) and increases to nearly 97.5%, closely following training accuracy.
Insights:
- The small gap between training and validation accuracy suggests minimal overfitting, indicating a well-generalized model.
- Both metrics plateau toward the later epochs, showing that the model has likely converged.
Loss Plot¶
Overall Trend:
- Training loss decreases consistently, showing the model's predictions are becoming more accurate over time.
- Validation loss also decreases, following the same pattern as training loss, with a final value around 0.075.
Insights:
- Low and stable validation loss confirms that the model isn't overfitting and generalizes well to unseen data.
- The training and validation loss curves are closely aligned, which is ideal.
Model 2 Summary¶
Final Metrics:
- Validation Accuracy: 97.50%
- Validation Loss: 0.0754
- Precision: 92.86%
- Recall: 97.50%
Performance:
- The model is highly effective in classifying
ShipandNoShip, with excellent balance between precision and recall. - Minimal overfitting observed, as seen in the aligned accuracy and loss trends.
- The model is highly effective in classifying
Next Steps¶
Save the Model: If this is the finalized version of
model_2, save it for deployment or further testing.model.save('final_model_2.h5') print("Model saved successfully!")
Test on Validation Data: Test individual images from the validation set to verify predictions visually (steps already outlined earlier).
Prepare for Deployment (Optional):
- Once satisfied, the model can be exported for use in production or a web application.
Test the Model on New Images¶
Test the model on images not used during training or validation.
# Get a batch of validation images
val_images, val_labels = next(val_data)
# Select one image to test
test_img = val_images[0] # First image in the batch
test_label = val_labels[0] # Corresponding label
# Add batch dimension to match model input
test_img_array = np.expand_dims(test_img, axis=0)
# Make a prediction
prediction = model.predict(test_img_array)
predicted_class = 'Ship' if prediction[0][0] > 0.5 else 'NoShip'
actual_class = 'Ship' if test_label == 1 else 'NoShip'
print(f"Prediction: {predicted_class}")
print(f"Actual Label: {actual_class}")
# Visualize the test image
plt.imshow(test_img)
plt.title(f"Predicted: {predicted_class}, Actual: {actual_class}")
plt.axis('off')
plt.show()
Testing Results Analysis¶
The result shows that the model correctly predicted the class of the image:
- Prediction:
NoShip - Actual Label:
NoShip
This confirms that the model is performing as expected on individual validation images. The visualization also reinforces that the model is effectively identifying the characteristics of NoShip images.
Key Insights¶
Correct Classification:
- The model confidently predicted
NoShip, aligning with the ground truth.
- The model confidently predicted
Validation in Action:
- This demonstrates that the model generalizes well, even when tested with isolated images from the validation set.
Next Steps¶
Test Additional Images:
- Continue testing multiple images from the validation set to verify robustness.
Use the following loop to test multiple images:
for i in range(5): # Test 5 images test_img = val_images[i] test_label = val_labels[i] # Add batch dimension test_img_array = np.expand_dims(test_img, axis=0) # Predict prediction = model.predict(test_img_array) predicted_class = 'Ship' if prediction[0][0] > 0.5 else 'NoShip' actual_class = 'Ship' if test_label == 1 else 'NoShip' # Display results print(f"Image {i+1}: Predicted: {predicted_class}, Actual: {actual_class}") plt.imshow(test_img) plt.title(f"Predicted: {predicted_class}, Actual: {actual_class}") plt.axis('off') plt.show()
Save the Final Model: Once you’re satisfied with the results, save the model:
model.save('final_model_2.h5') print("Final model saved successfully!")
Confusion Matrix and Classification Report: If not already done, generate these for a complete view of performance across all classes.

Model 3 Evaluation Results¶
Performance Metrics¶
Validation Loss: 0.1833
- A relatively low loss value, indicating the model makes predictions closely aligned with the ground truth.
- Slightly higher compared to previous models, which might reflect added complexity in the data augmentation or architecture.
Validation Accuracy: 92.37%
- A strong performance overall, indicating that the model is correctly classifying the majority of the validation images.
Precision: 80.35%
- Precision reflects the ability of the model to avoid false positives.
- Slightly lower precision indicates some over-prediction for the
Shipclass (possibly predicting ships where there aren’t any).
Recall: 92.00%
- A high recall shows that the model is effectively identifying most actual
Shipimages. - This suggests that the model minimizes false negatives and captures the majority of the
Shipclass.
- A high recall shows that the model is effectively identifying most actual
Analysis of Results¶
Balanced Performance:
- While precision dropped slightly compared to recall, the model maintains a good balance between both metrics.
- The high recall indicates the model prioritizes catching most ships, even at the cost of some false positives.
Validation Loss and Accuracy:
- The validation loss is still within acceptable limits, and accuracy above 92% shows the model generalizes well.
- The slight increase in loss could result from the data augmentation and added batch normalization, which aim to improve robustness.
Recommendations¶
If Precision Needs Improvement:
- Further refine class weights to slightly reduce the weight on the minority class (
Ship), balancing precision and recall.
class_weights = {0: 1.0, 1: 2.5} # Slightly lower weight for Ship
- Further refine class weights to slightly reduce the weight on the minority class (
Analyze Confusion Matrix:
- Check where the model is confusing
ShipandNoShipusing the confusion matrix.
- Check where the model is confusing
Finalize and Save the Model:
- If satisfied with the results, save Model 3 as it stands.
model_3.save('final_model_3.h5') print("Model 3 saved successfully!")

| Recall | 0.73 | 0.28 | 0.51 | 0.62 |
| F1-Score | 0.74 | 0.27 | 0.51 | 0.62 |
Key Observations¶
Class Imbalance Challenges:
- The model performs well on the majority class (NoShip) with 75% precision and 73% recall.
- Performance on the minority class (Ship) is weaker, with 26% precision and 28% recall.
- This indicates the model struggles to confidently identify ships, likely due to class imbalance.
Overall Accuracy: 62%
- While accuracy might seem acceptable, it’s skewed by the model favoring the majority class.
F1-Score:
- The F1-Score for
Shipis low (0.27), showing a trade-off between precision and recall. - The macro average is 0.51, reflecting poor balance across the classes.
- The F1-Score for
Recommendations¶
Further Address Class Imbalance:
- Experiment with oversampling the
Shipclass or increasing its class weight to improve recall and precision forShip.
class_weights = {0: 1.0, 1: 4.0} # Increase weight for Ship
- Experiment with oversampling the
Analyze Misclassifications:
- Review images that were misclassified (e.g.,
Shippredicted asNoShip) to identify patterns. This might uncover:- Subtle visual features the model struggles to learn.
- Dataset noise or mislabeled examples.
- Review images that were misclassified (e.g.,
Refine Data Augmentation:
- Introduce augmentations that better simulate conditions where ships might be harder to detect (e.g., zooms, rotations, brightness variations).
datagen = ImageDataGenerator( rescale=1./255, rotation_range=30, zoom_range=0.3, brightness_range=[0.8, 1.2], horizontal_flip=True )
Consider Fine-Tuning the Model:
- Adjust learning rates for more targeted optimization.
- Explore using a pre-trained model (e.g., MobileNet, ResNet) for feature extraction.
Evaluate the Dataset:
- Investigate whether the dataset might benefit from additional labeled data, especially for the
Shipclass.
- Investigate whether the dataset might benefit from additional labeled data, especially for the
Next Steps¶
- Decide whether to refine the model further or finalize Model 3 as is.
- Save the model if it meets your current goals:
model_3.save('model_3_with_class_weights.h5') print("Model 3 saved successfully!")
- Optionally, move to deployment or explore advanced techniques like transfer learning.

Insights¶
Strengths:
- The model correctly predicted three out of five images with ships being well-identified in prominent cases.
- Consistently detects
NoShipwhen the image does not contain any noticeable ships.
Weaknesses:
- Missed detecting ships in Images 2 and 3, where ships were present but located at the edges or corners of the image.
- This suggests that the model may not be as effective at identifying smaller or less centrally located ships.
Recommendations¶
Improve Detection of Ships at Edges:
- Include cropped images or shifted augmentations in training to help the model focus on ships appearing near the edges or corners.
- Example augmentation:
datagen = ImageDataGenerator( width_shift_range=0.3, # Shift horizontally height_shift_range=0.3, # Shift vertically rescale=1./255 )
Adjust Class Weights Further:
- Emphasize the
Shipclass even more to reduce missed detections in the minority class.
- Emphasize the
Include Harder Training Examples:
- Add manually cropped and labeled ship images from edge cases (e.g., ships at corners, small ships, or overlapping background).
Test Larger Images:
- Use images with higher resolutions during testing to see if the missed ships become more detectable.
Next Steps¶
Save Model 4 if it meets your current objectives, or decide if further refinement is necessary.

Final Report¶
We began this project with the goal of creating a robust deep learning model capable of detecting ships in satellite imagery. The dataset included 4,000 labeled images, divided into two classes: Ship and NoShip. Early analysis revealed significant class imbalance, with the NoShip class being dominant. This imbalance presented a challenge for the model's ability to correctly identify the minority class. We used data preprocessing techniques such as rescaling and data augmentation, introducing transformations like rotation, zooming, and brightness adjustments to improve the model’s generalization capabilities.
The project was approached iteratively, starting with a baseline model (Model 1). The initial model employed a simple convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture but lacked any specific handling of the class imbalance or advanced augmentations. Model 1 performed poorly, especially in detecting ships, which prompted us to introduce more sophisticated methods in subsequent iterations. Model 2 integrated class weighting to address the imbalance and added moderate data augmentation, resulting in significant improvements in validation accuracy. However, it still struggled with precision for the Ship class, indicating the need for further refinement.
Model 3 built upon the previous models by refining augmentation techniques and adjusting class weights more aggressively. While this model achieved better recall for the Ship class, precision remained low, with the model still prone to false positives. It was during this stage that we decided to incorporate transfer learning, realizing that a pre-trained network might better capture the nuanced features of ships in satellite images. This led to the development of Model 4, which utilized MobileNetV2 as the base model for feature extraction, combined with a custom classifier tailored to this specific binary classification task.
Model 4 emerged as the best-performing model, achieving a validation accuracy of 96.75% and balancing precision (89.19%) and recall (99.00%) for the Ship class. By leveraging MobileNetV2's pre-trained features, the model was able to effectively identify ships, even in challenging scenarios. Despite its strengths, edge-case testing revealed occasional misclassifications, particularly for images where ships were small or located near the edges. This highlights an area for potential improvement, such as introducing specialized augmentations targeting edge cases or using larger input dimensions for more detailed feature extraction.
Overall, this project demonstrated the importance of iterative development, informed adjustments, and leveraging pre-trained models for complex tasks like ship detection. Model 4's performance reflects a well-balanced and generalized approach, making it the final and most robust version of the models trained. The results and methodologies employed here pave the way for future enhancements, including deployment and potential use in real-world applications.
